New achievement system

From Sunday June 4, 2023 we will have the option to equip ourselves with titles that represent the battle, collecting and career achievements that we have achieved while playing freefire. In addition to being able to show them on our profile, getting them will give us points and rewards.

Each achievement will have 3 levels: Rare, Epic, and Mythic.

Duo Active Skills in Squad Matchup

Between Thursday June 1 and Sunday June 18 we can participate in this special Squad Duel mode that allows us to equip two active skills at the same time. We can even choose character skills that we have not unlocked.

This mode can also be activated in DE ranked matches.

Gloo Creator

One of the most important gameplay changes of the OB40 May 2023 update on Free Fire is that gloo walls are now dropped from the Gloo Maker instead of spawning on the ground.

The gloo creator is given to each player at the start of a battle royale match in freefire and automatically spawns gloo walls on a periodic basis. It can spawn more when upgraded. At level 1 you have a maximum of 5 walls and you get one every 100 seconds. At level 5 you can have up to 10 and we get one every 50 seconds.

New character, Sonia’s ability

Sonia is an intelligent nanotechnology scientist with a very asocial personality. This character will arrive later and is not available at the time of writing this note.

His ability is nanoshield of life: After receiving fatal damage, he enters an invulnerable and immobile state for 0.5 seconds. He then gains a 150 health shield that lasts for 3 seconds. If he manages to defeat an enemy during that time, he recovers 150 health. If not, she is eliminated. Has a 180 second cooldown.
